Impaired left atrial strain in the presence of interatrial block in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases, and is a risk factor for atrial cardiomyopathy. Interatrial block (IAB), as a predictor of AF, is correlated with the extent of LA fibrosis in the process of atrial cardiomyopathy. We have not encountered any study evaluating LA and LV functions with 3D-STE in the presence of IAB in the T2DM patients. The purpose of the present study was to compare the LA and LV myocardial functions in patients with T2DM with and without IAB by 3D-STE. A total of 175 consecutive patients with T2DM who were examined at outpatient clinics were enrolled in the study (85 patients with IAB and 90 patients without IAB). Surface 12-lead standard electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded. Clinical characteristics and laboratory values of the patients were obtained. Conventional 2D echocardiographic and 3D-STE analyses were performed. The mean age of the patients was 59 ± 8.7 years, and 112 (64%) of the patients were female. The LAS-r and LAS-active were significantly decreased in the IAB (+) group than in the IAB (-) group. Statistically significant strong negative linear correlations were observed between P-wave duration and 3D-LA strain values. Our results indicate that there is an impairment in LA myocardial dynamics in the presence of IAB in T2DM patients. According to these findings, we can say that it will be useful to evaluate the LA functions at the preclinical stage in the presence of IAB in patients with T2DM, when considering ischemic cardiovascular and cerebral events.
